Abstract

We study Fulton's universal Schubert polynomials $\mathfrak S_w(c)$ as regular functions on the upper unitriangular group $U_N$. The standard triangular cluster structure associates a Schubert $\sf g$-vector to every permutation. Their convex hull is unimodularly equivalent to $\Delta_1\times\cdots\times\Delta_{N-1}$, and their root-degree fibers are parabolic Bruhat intervals realized by the strata of staircase quiver Grassmannians. The geometric (i.e., generic, canonical, and Mirkovi\'c--Vilonen) elements indexed by these vectors form integral bases of Fulton's standard-elementary module. We prove that $\mathfrak S_w(c)$ is homogeneous under diagonal conjugation if and only if it is the corresponding canonical element, and that homogeneity of $\mathfrak S_w(c)$ implies $\Lambda_Q$-rigidity of $Z_{\sf g_w}$. We also classify simultaneously the unit columns of the geometric-to-Schubert transitions, determine support components of the PBW-to-geometric and code-to-Schubert transitions, and exhibit a permutation $w\in S_{10}$ for which the three geometric basis elements are distinct.

Canonical traces of Artinian truncations of Stanley-Reisner rings

For a simplicial complex $\Delta$ and integers $n_i\ge 2$, set $A_{\Delta,\mathbf n}=\mathbb{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_m]/(I_\Delta+(x_1^{n_1},\ldots,x_m^{n_m}))$. We give an exact combinatorial formula for the canonical trace for arbitrary truncation exponents and for an arbitrary simplicial complex after deleting irrelevant gh...

The cyclic-induction Schur cone: Boolean sums, Ramanujan-square positivity, and integral structure

We study the Schur-positive cone in $\Rspace_{n,\mathbb R}\coloneqq \operatorname{span}_{\mathbb R}\{p_d^{n/d}:d\mid n\}$ through its basis $Q_{n,d}\coloneqq\ell_{n/d}^{(1)}[p_d]$, where $\ell_m^{(1)}$ is the Frobenius characteristic of the representation induced to $S_m$ from a faithful linear character of the subgrou...

Schwarz-Type Null Curves in $\mathbb{C}^4$: Symmetry and Period Reduction

We study a genus-three hyperelliptic holomorphic null-curve family in $\mathbb{C}^4$, modelled on the algebraic data of the classical Schwarz P/D family, whose real parts define minimal immersions into $\mathbb{R}^4$. For the order-four automorphism $\omega\mapsto i\omega$ of the underlying Schwarz curve, we compute ex...

Higher-rank local mixing for cusped positive representations

Let $\Gamma<\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb R)$ be a torsion-free, non-elementary, finitely generated Fuchsian group with parabolic elements, and let $\rho:\Gamma\to G$ be a type-preserving, Zariski dense, positive representation into a connected split semisimple real algebraic group. We prove quantitative local mixing fo...

Spectral Rigidity in Toroidal Grothendieck Rings and Multiparameter Quantum Groups

Let $Q$ be a bipartite Dynkin quiver of finite simply-laced type and $\mathscr C_Q$ the corresponding Hernandez--Leclerc category. We study a two-parameter specialization of the Fedele--Hernandez toroidal Grothendieck ring and identify its generic positive part with a Cartan-type multiparameter quantum group. The struc...

The radial derivative on the graded M\"obius algebra

Let $M$ be a simple matroid and let $B(M)$ be the graded M\"obius algebra of its lattice of flats. The ordered-basis weights of flats define an inner product for which the adjoints of atom multiplication become ordinary coordinate derivatives under the basis-polynomial realization. From this, we construct a canonical g...
